Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY FRIEDMANN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Baltimore city, State of Maryland, have in vide anattachment of the character specified of an extremely simple andeconomical con struction.

A. further object of the invention is to provide an attachment of thecharacter specified, which will be very flexible and at the same timevery strong. p I ,With these objects in view, the invention consists inthe improved construction, arran ement and combination of the parts of adevice of the character specified, which will be hereinafter fullydescribed, and afterward specifically claimed.

In order that the'construction and operation thereof may be readilycomprehended, I will now proceed to fully describe my invention inconnection with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate an approvedembodiment thereof, and in which drawings,

Figure 1 represents, in perspective view, the upper part of a shirtprovided with a neck band having my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 isa detail perspective sectional view of the device.

Like reference characters indicate the same parts wherever they appearin a plurality of the figures of the drawings.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 5 indicates the front, 6 theshoulders, and Y the neck band of a body garment, illustrated in thisinstance as a mans shirt. The

' neck-band 7 is composed of three folds 8 integral with the inner fold8 the same being turned over at 11 and incloses the two folds 9 and 10of the hand. These last mentioned folds 9 and 10 and an inner fold ofthe flap 14 are terminated at the top of the neck-band and all aresecured together by a seam 18 The flap is provlded with a button-hole19*.

My attachment thus forms a flap which normally hangs down in front ofthe neckband so that its button-hole l9 will receive a collar-buttonwith the base of the buttoninside the flap and seated against theneckband, thereby avoiding any possibility of its inguring the neck ofthe wearer, and the head of the button will project to the front inhandy position to be entered into the buttonhole 20 in the outer end ofthe neck band.

Owing to the flap shape of the attachment it can readily be turnedoutward to facilitate the insertion of the collar button in itsbuttonhole, thus avoiding the extreme difliculty sometimes heretoforeencountered in inserting a collar button in a necl: band Patented July"3, 19145.

in which the folds are left unstitched' for a short distance to form apocket in which to insert the base of the collar button, such separatedfolds often becoming stuck together while being laundried.

Besides the advantages enumerated for my invention, others will beapparent in the use thereof and while I have specifically described theconstruction, arrangement and combination of the various parts, it willbe obvious-to those skilled in the art to which my invention mostnearlyappertains, that changes and variations may be made therein,without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
